The Butterfly 4 Bedroom Home, Ideal Downtown Historic Tennis Club location
The Butterfly House is not a remodel but built 100% new in 2009. This private, modern, iconic, William Krisel designed butterfly home and detached pool casita are ideally located just two blocks west of the vibrant downtown core and nestled in the heart of the charming Historic Tennis Club neighborhood. Located just just steps from both the famous Melvin's Restaurant (w/ 1950's "Rat Pack" style piano bar) and the always hip Avalon Hotel & Spa / Citron Bar & Restaurant, the location couldn't be more ideal for walking to nearby entertainment and sight seeing.
Fully walled and gated backyard for complete privacy while enjoying the infinity edge pool and jacuzzi. Pool has an oversize mosaic bottom tanning shelf, South facing and an IPE hardwood deck with a modern, fire feature will keep you warm on those chilly desert nights. Pool deck has plenty of sunny / shade areas depending on your tastes and extra seating for larger parties.
The modern, detached pool casita is designed as a second master with a full bath, indoor and outdoor showers, kitchenette with a separate, private entrance.
This home may be available for private events and professional photo shoots. The home is located near the Avalon Hotel and Ingleside Inn and is perfectly suited for a bride/groom/family wedding preparation and/or a honeymoon suite. Please inquire with owner.

This home is a perfect place to stay. Walking distance to downtown Palm Springs with eclectic shopping and dining. Beds are super comfortable and pool and jacuzzi the perfect place to unwind and relax. We will come back again.
A group of friends and myself did a quick weekend trip to PS and this house was perfect. VERY close to DT, walkable to nearly anything you could want. Great set up with the pool and hot tub. One large casita with bathroom and then 3 bed and 2 baths in the main house. It was perfect for us. The house was well equipped and Michael was very easy to communicate. Thinking about booking it again for a family trip!
This beautiful midcentury modern home was the perfect place for us. There were 4 adult couples and we had a wonderful time there. All four of the bedrooms were very comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out by the pool. We also were able to walk everywhere, since the location is truly right in the heart of Palm Springs, even though the house itself is in a great neighborhood in a very quiet street. Michael was a gracious host and quickly responded to all of my questions. If it's available for the dates you want, I highly recommend staying here!
Michael's house is nothing short of awesome. It is beautiful and very well equipped. It is also situated on a nice street in close proximity to the main drag in Palm Springs so was very easy to get around. Michael is a pleasure to deal with and responded quickly before and during our stay! Was a great Thanksgiving and we hope to be back at the Butterfly again!
We enjoyed our stay, especially the beautiful casita. It was so nice and easy to walk downtown to shop and eat! Main house might be ready for a little refresh, but the linens were lovely and we slept like babies.
Absolutely beautiful home in the perfect spot in Palm Springs. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. Very clean and well equipped. Great communication and welcoming vibe from the property owner/manager.
This house was a perfect place for our family vacation. The location was ideal just a few blocks from downtown. The house plus casita meant we could all spread out. The pool, patio, and hot tub were wonderful. Highly recommend.
This is our second time staying at this property. It was a bit chilly this January to enjoy the pool like we had hoped but the hot tub was great and comfortably accommodated six people. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals and snacks. Walking distance to downtown Restaurants made the stay very convenient.
This property was the perfect space for our family to reconnect. Michael’s quick response to any question or request was fantastic. Highly recommended!
In a far too short stay, we discovered a lovely little gem. It's wonderfully located to downtown, easily within walking distance to local shopping and dining, and everything else I love about being in town. It's entirely private, with a fantastic little backyard and pool. in addition to the 3 bedrooms, it has a separate self-contained casita. The added comfort of inclusion of an available garage cannot be overstated. Everything about the stay was easy, our time was delightful, and we can't wait to come back. Thank you! xoxoxox
Wonderful Stay at the Butterfly House in Palm Springs
We had an absolutely delightful time staying at the Butterfly House in Palm Springs. The location was perfect, nestled in the charming Historic Tennis District. This prime spot allowed us to easily walk to a variety of fantastic restaurants and shops, making our stay even more enjoyable.
The house itself was lovely, with beautiful decor and all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into maintaining the property. We particularly enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and the overall charm of the house.
Overall, our experience at the Butterfly House was wonderful. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and charming place to stay in Palm Springs. We can't wait to return!
Beautiful rental home, very Palm Springs mid-century modern in great location close to downtown. Three bedrooms with comfy king beds, three bathrooms, including a separate casita affords lots of privacy for multiples sharing the home. Plus a fourth bedroom shares one bathroom. The pool, spa and deck are perfect! Luxuriously appointed. Michael is a fantastic host! Don't hesitate... We'll be back.
First of all, the property absolutely does live up to the photos on the site, which is great. The property is first rate. Secondly, the instructions provided by the owner are simple, straightforward, user-friendly and comprehensive. We had one or two questions regarding the operation of the hot tub and the owner was immediately responsive and walked us through the process. Location is great, easy walking distance to the centre of Palm Springs. All in all a great experience and we all agreed we would love to return. Thanks for a great holiday!
